AVG free not updating

Have been running with AVG 8.5 free version for a few months now all perfectly ok......until today.

It's stating the av and spyware databases are outdated but when i attempt to run updates i get "Your computer system time seems to be inaccurate. This may lead to false virus database up-to-dateness reporting. Please correct your system time if possible."

Exactly what are they referring to as "system time"......the clock or what??

I tried an uninstall and re-install but it just got back to the same again.

Is XBT9E1 the part number for the battery or for the socket? Diagrams I've found on-line using Google aren't all that clear as to which is meant.

CMOS batteries are usually the round "coin" type, such as CR2032 CR2016 etc, these days.

If you open up your system unit you may find that such a number is on the current battery, despite what the manual says.

If not, take the current battery to a local supplier - market stalls often have a good range as well as computer shops - and they will probably be able to supply an equivalent.

Oooo.....err. I think i've dropped a boo boo! oh:

Here is an online diagram of exactly what i have printed in my Dell PC user manual and what i have been looking at. It seems, as you rightly say Graham....that is the socket, not the battery! Turning a few more pages and i now find CR2032 is the battery!
Obviously having another of my 'senior moments'. :Sad:

I only recently 'lost' the day/date and now corrected it via BIOS and 'sinbad' suggested it could be the cmos battery beginning to fail (had the pc about 6yrs from new). Would i be right in saying that the bios settings are all i need take note of before replacing the battery?

Yes you are correct just make a note of the settings in case, more probable that the setting wiill remain.( remove old and replace new in a short space of time should retain bios info)
